Heating without electricity.
I love playing as tribal cavemen sometimes. You can build some great central heating furnaces with vents and campfires. Nice and toasty!

Torches build heat too. :)

How do you keep cool without electricity though? My people keep dying of heat stroke every time the power goes out (tropical rainforest). :<

I haven't found a way besides deep, deep caves with super-thick walls.

In A15, he is introducing a low tech way to keep cool. Also, build cowboy hats and dusters, they help people with heat.

I'm not sure how a duster helps with heat.

A banana hammock, maybe.

In A15, there is a new thing to keep cool without electricity for tribal.

Be nice if the tribals could roll around in mud to get some heat protection in exchange for a mood debuff.

Dusters when opened up sheild you from the sun, and the open concept lets air in. Its why they use to wear them here way back before ac in the Airizona desert, they close them up and they can give warmth. Its how they work in the game as weel provied heat relief, and some cold relif for more mild winters Duster is like the wild west travel cloak in a way...

Yeah, but I thought it was to protect you from plant life when on horseback or to keep you dry.

I'm FROM the Wild West. :)

A wide-brimmed hat will keep you cool, but a duster is not really a thing for that. Particularly one made out of leather which doesn't breath. Why not a linen robe like Arabs wear?

Dusters did that as well, which is why I think they stayed leather. A linen robe wouldn't do well for protecting you from plant life or stay dry very well.
